Thanks - but that kind of stinks - it's like he got cheated or short-changed somehow.

^^^ IMO he doesn't feel cheated by it. He did take his "girls" home this season. And he got to spare his family and friends the production of meeting someone who he would never have ended up with.

It seems Ben's parents are going to play a significant role this season anyway, which is nice to make up for the lack of them last season. They're going to be in the premiere, episode 7, and of course episode 10.

Exactly. I think he was grateful he didn't have to fake things in front of his family because it was mighty clear that Ben was so over Kaitlyn by that point. He was only hanging around because tptb wanted him for the next lead.
